@dnolen in the CLJS analyzer meta data the :arglists of a defn are quoted while they are not in clojure

is this intended or just an oversight?

{:protocol-inline nil,
 :meta
 {:file "clojure/string.cljs",
  :line 193,
  :column 16,
  :end-line 193,
  :end-column 22,
  :tag boolean,
  :arglists '([s]),
  :doc "True is s is nil, empty, or contains only whitespace."},
 :name clojure.string/blank?,
 :variadic false,
 :file "clojure/string.cljs",
 :end-column 22,
 :method-params ([s]),
 :protocol-impl nil,
 :arglists-meta (nil nil),
 :column 1,
 :line 193,
 :ret-tag boolean,
 :end-line 193,
 :max-fixed-arity 1,
 :tag boolean,
 :fn-var true,
 :arglists '([s]),
 :doc "True is s is nil, empty, or contains only whitespace."}

for cljs

{:arglists ([s]),
 :doc "True if s is nil, empty, or contains only whitespace.",
 :added "1.2",
 :line 287,
 :column 1,
 :file "clojure/string.clj",
 :name blank?,
 :ns #object[clojure.lang.Namespace 0x6e4f1a08 "clojure.string"]}

for clojure

:arglists '([s]) there are some instances where it isn't quoted too

not that it matters, just stumbled upon while writing a tool experiment

also :arglists is not a list? but a lazy-seq

@thheller: I’m not sure there’s a good reason for that, but I recall futzing with it at one point while doing something else

and it broke something else, so I tabled it

re: :arglists being quoted

:arglists not being list? doesn’t seem particularly important

yeah it is not important, just wrapped it into a maybe-remove-quote fn and it's all good

but if it broke when you tried to remove the quote it is not important at all 🙂

@thheller quoting :arglists may have something to do with the analysis cache

don't think so

things like :method-params are not quoted

and contain basically the same stuff

hrm, yeah then dunno

doesn't matter, just thought I'd ask if there is a reason for it

@thheller: another reason I’m looking forward to spec’ing out all this stuff once 1.9.0 lands

it would be nice to have a visible list of all the weird little things that have accumulated over the years in one place

yeah spec is awesome for that, I have spec'd all my cljs macros and it is amazing. half the code and actual usable error messages
